I caught myself thinking during Episode 4 that Stick has made a pretty fundamental miscalculation.

Let’s be frank – we’ve pretty much known since the beginning that Tastefully Yours is going to have a predictable, happy ending.
‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – This Show Has Become A Parody Of Itself
You know what The Walking Dead: Dead City needed to rejuvenate a flagging Season 2? Spoiler alert: It wasn't a one-eyed CGI bear.

Thus far, Murderbot has done a pretty good job of balancing its comedy with its drama. But it’s always a fine line.

It’s impossible to talk about Stick without mentioning Ted Lasso, since the rubric for beloved sports comedies was defined by AFC Richmond’s adventures on Apple TV+.
‘Tastefully Yours’ Episode 8 Recap – The Drama Is Really Starting to Cook
The great measure of how much we like the characters in the shows we watch is how we respond to them being legitimately heartbroken, and that’s the territory that Tastefully Yours finally ventures into in Episode 8.
‘Tastefully Yours’ Episode 7 Recap – And Enough Of the Love Triangle, Thankfully
I wasn’t keen on Tastefully Yours across its last couple of episodes, which seemed to miss the point of the show’s breezy small-town charm a little bit.
‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – Two Dumb Deaths Don’t Improve Things
With Episode 5, Season 2 of The Walking Dead: Dead City reaches a clear turning point.
‘Murderbot’ Episode 4 Recap – Confident and Conceptually Audacious

Ladies and gentlemen, Tastefully Yours has reached the stage of any self-respecting romantic K-Drama where the giggly first-date awkwardness permeates the whole thing, which is coming a little earlier than expected after the ending of the previous episode.
‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ Season 2, Episode 4 Recap – This Show Isn’t Going to Commit to Its Most Daring Idea
There’s a kernel of a good idea in Season 2 of The Walking Dead: Dead City, but the chances of the show committing to it are so slim as to be virtually non-existent.

The games are very much afoot in MobLand, and it’s beginning to seem like Harry holds many more cards than he has let on.
‘Murderbot’ Episode 3 Recap – The Tight Runtime Continues To Feel Too Limiting
I’ve identified a key issue in Murderbot. To be fair, I mentioned it in my recap of the two-part premiere, and nothing has changed; it’s just twice as noticeable because Episode 3 is obviously half as long.

‘Heavenly Ever After’ Episodes 9 & 10 Recap – The Best Double-Bill Yet Finally Finds Some Depth
There’s probably a case to be made that nine episodes into a 12-episode season is too late for a show to get good. But this is also likely underselling Heavenly Ever After, which has always been “good”, so to speak, and has mostly just failed to progress beyond that.
